Elderly cat information? (Answers: 6) (Comments: 0)
I have a wonderful cat named Tuxedo (but he has always been called Big). He is FIV positive (he contracted the disease before there was a vaccine for it). Im concerned because his weight is steadily dropping. He feels so very thin. His mood is good and his appetite is healthy, but I am still concerned about him losing so much weight. His last check up (about 4 months ago) showed everything was fine with his bloodwork. I guess what I am wondering is if anyone has any good ideas on what I can feed him to boost his weight. Most of the senior feline diets are low in fat and high in fiber...and seem to add to his severe weight loss. He is my heart, and any advice is appreciated.
Thanks for all your advice, guys. I have actually started giving him a bit more canned food lately, which he loves. His feces and urine are pretty normal, with no excessive trips or blood. What is Innova? I haven't heard of that one.

Adopting a Second Cat...Information on Stomatitis, Please? (Answers: 2) (Comments: 0)
Over the last several weeks, I've been in the process of adopting a second cat from a rescue agency in the area. Towards the end of the meeting, her foster mum noticed she had exceptionally red gums, so she took kitty to the vet.
The vet thinks that she has an upper respiratory infection, so she's staying with her foster mum for now and being treated with clavamox because we don't want to expose Sammy to anything [I scrubbed and washed laundry as soon as I returned home from the meeting, just in case] since he already struggles occasionally with UTI.
The vet also thinks kitty has stomatitis [but kitty is negative for leukemi/FIV], so apparently it's caused by calicivirus? She is on additional medicine for that [Viralys].
Since this is apparently something she'll have continuously, I'd like to know more about it, what to watch out for, and what to do when it recurs. First-hand experience is preferred, as I keep turning up contradictory information online.
Information on the different medicines and financial aspects of the problem would be much appreciated too.
I don't want to sound crass, but I know it wouldn't be responsible of me to take on another cat knowing that I wouldn't be able to treat her problem.
That was actually a lot of the reason why I was originally looking between 3 and 5 years old since by then, you typically have a good idea of what you're dealing with...That, and they're so often overlooked in favor of young kittens.
This girl is only 9 months, but she's sweet as a button. If there's a way I can make this work, it will. But I'd really like to have a better idea of what I'm getting into, as well as any possible detrimental side-effects that could affect my first kitty.
